About Bachelor of Arts - Human Development - Counselling Services

The Human Development Major is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on human growth and development throughout the lifespan, and on the familial, social, cultural, and political networks in which individuals develop. A degree in human development provides students an understanding of the social, cultural, psychological and biological understanding of human beings from birth to death. Course offerings are interdisciplinary, drawing knowledge from psychology, sociology, biology, anthropology, ethnic, racial and gender studies. The Human Development Major is designed to prepare undergraduates to succeed in increasingly diverse cultural, ethnic, economic, and political environments. Respect for those differences in the context of human services settings is an integral part of the program.

Courses within the Counseling Concentration have been selected to provide an educational foundation for students wishing to pursue careers in counseling fields. Through these courses students learn about effective counseling interventions, acquire interpersonal interviewing and interaction skills, and learn about the importance of diversity and social justice as it relates to children, youth, adults, families, communities, and society.

Students who graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Human Development will be able to:
  • Use theory and research to explain lifespan development in individual, family, and/or community contexts.
  • Critically evaluate evidence-based practices, programs, or policy solutions to address real-world problems related to human development.
  • Analyze structural inequities related to lifespan development to identify strategies for promoting social justice.
  • Assess needs and evaluate the delivery of human services.
  • Use research methods in Human Development to design, analyze, and conduct research, and present research findings.
  • Apply professional ethics, knowledge, awareness, and/or skills for health and human services settings.
